214. Scorpions / Deadly Sting : The Mercury Years. 1997. 4/5.

This is a 2 disc best-of compilation put out by Mercury after the Scorpions had move onto better pasture at another record company.

Best-of is such a subjective term, and for me, it doesn't really hold total water here. Though most of the songs on these two discs are great songs, there are some that have been left off, for whatever reasons that may be, and for that reason, it cannot be given full marks.
However, it is a worthy listen. Just not an ultimate greatest hits package, if that is what you are looking for.

Rating : Some of the best the Scorpions have released. 4/5.
